disconnected. In this case, the printer will attempt to communicate to the host over the short-range
radio if the printer is so equipped. In its active (high) state, the DSR line will disable the short-range
radio, if any, and will communicate over the RX/TX line of the serial port. For printers that are not
equipped with a short-range radio, the host terminal must still keep the DSR line at an active state.
The printer can be programmed to time-out, and shut itself off, upon reaching a predefined inactivity
period. The factory default inactivity time-out is 2 minutes. This setting can be changed using the
MP Utilities program , the Label Vista application or by sending the following command to the printer.
! UTILITIES
TIMEOUT n
END
Where “n” is the inactivity timeout in 1/8 of a second. For example, n=960 for a 2 minute inactivity
timeout (120 seconds X 8). A timeout of 0 disables inactivity timeout.
Programmable Low-Battery Timeout
The printer can be programmed to timeout, and shut itself off, upon reaching a predefined period
after low battery condition is detected. The factory default low battery timeout is 1 minute. This
setting can be changed using the MP Utilities program or the Label Vista application.
Shutting o the Printer Remotely
The printer can be turned off by sending the following shut down command:
O Command
ESC (0x1b) ‘p’ (0x70)
This function can be used instead of lowering DTR causing the printer to shut down.
Entering Low-Power Mode When Idle
The printer automatically enters low-power mode when it is idle in order to conserve power. All
resident data and images will be preserved while the printer is in low-power mode.
